Canceling trade routes...

It's more a question than anything else...
....someone knows how to cancel a trade route without making war or a trade embargo???

When the trade is no more good for the computer he comes after 20 turns to cancel it, but when it is no more good for me or for some reason i don't want to continue it, i can't cancel it...

someone knows how to cancel it?? or if it is some bug???

I think this will solve your problem, if I read your post right.

Once a deal between you and another civ has expired (i.e. after 20 turns) you contact them and there should be at the bottom of the negotiation screen two buttons "new" and "active".
If you click on the "active" button you should see all the current deals between you and the othe civ. If you click on the one you want to re-negotiate (or just cancel!) it'll appear on both sides of the negotiation table, like it was a new deal. Click again on the deal and it should disappear from the table.

The deal is now cancelled peacefully!

(p.s. there may be a quicker way of doing this, but my way works for me!)

On the diplomacy screen (F4) initiate conversation with the leader of the civ whose trade agreement you wish to cancel. Near the bottom of the leader screen you will see the word Active.

Select Active and all of your active agreements will be visible. If there are still turns remaining on any active agreements, the amount remaining will appear in parentheses.

Select the item you wish to cancel . . this should put the focus on all items involved with that trade. At that point, you can renegotiate, or clear everything by clicking on it to remove it.

Experiment a little with this, and I'm sure it will make sense.
